On August 1, 2008, the Beijing-Tianjin intercity railway was officially put into operation, ushering in China's "high-speed rail era". This line is China's first high-standard high-speed railway with a design speed of 350 kilometers per hour, and it is also the first intercity passenger transport system to be put into operation in the "Medium and Long-Term Railway Network Planning".
Today, 15 years later, my country's high-speed railways reach 94.9% of the cities with a population of more than 500,000 in the country, and the operating mileage has reached 42,000 kilometers, ranking first in the world.
So, how much do you know about high-speed rail? Do you know these 9 high-speed rail tips?
The high-speed rail seat number follows the tradition of aircraft seat numbering.
Most of the early planes were single-aisle, generally with 6 seats in each row, numbered ABCDEF. Among them, A and F are near the window, C and D are near the corridor, and B and E are in the middle. Over time, these settings became a routine.
As a latecomer, high-speed rail has continued this tradition. For example, the second-class seat of the high-speed rail has a "3+2" seat arrangement, so there is only ABCDF, and the middle seat "E" is missing; the first-class seat adopts a "2+2" seat arrangement, leaving only ACDF, and there is no Two middle seats "B" and "E". The business seat adopts "2+1" seat arrangement, only ACF!
